In 2008, while I was watching the BAJA ARAGON in Zaragoza (Spain), I took some pics of a Marc Coma Dakar Rally bike that Repsol was displaying, and I'm going to post a couple, just in case that you like them

I have some other pics of this bike that I can also upload, if you wish

Nasty bike...
More pics...??? of course

Sometimes the tumblers just jam. Have you tried a little graphite lube?

I seriously doubt the bike is reacting to your mod. It's a coincidence.

So frozen it was - got it warmed up and key turns fine - but guess what???

No lights...

I just walked away from it - I'll go out there maybe tomorrow night when warm and break out the meter and look to see why. I had to build the relay harnesses so maybe I screwed something up?? I also got chinese jobbies recommended by a inmate and everyone know the quality control on chinese goods.

Someday... I will grab one fo these 660/690 rally bikes... don't mind how many years from now, I will wait
.

I have 'nt given up yet... But may be afterlife ?!

As far as the handles, indeed they are beautiful. I wonder how tall you have to be to grab the bike from that handle.
I think these are pillion handles. May be I am able to convince my girfriend about that and justify selling her car, renting the house or something to buy the beast

I'm happy that you have enjoyed the pics! By the way: I have the full resolution ones (3072x2304 pixels) and I can post them with a clickable thumbnail in case that you need/want to have a look at something more closely
